Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

In light of the mega fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao later tonight, I am going to recommend an old favorite of mine, the boxing film Diggstown (1992). 

A James Woods classic, you will find one of his best performances in this overlooked late-summer of 1992 film.

Woods plays a “good con man” in lieu of just another small-time hustler putting on the con of his life in sleepy, southern, boxing and gambling crazed Diggstown. The clip below features a nice compilation of some of the best scenes from the film. It is definitely worth checking out.

Louis Gossett Jr., Bruce Dern, Oliver Platt, and a young Heather Graham all deliver great performances as well.

Check it out.
